Generous bequests made in 1995 enabled DICE to establish two annual prizes for the best of its postgraduate students.

 

The Maurice Swingland Prize

This prize is awarded to the best postgraduate student taught by DICE in its postgraduate programmes involving coursework and dissertation. The prize is judged on based on coursework and dissertation marks, the extent to which the student used their time at DICE for personal development and the contribution of the student to the well-being of DICE. The Maurice Swingland Prize is named after the late father of Ian Swingland, DICE's Founder.
